Re: How to change language in all Skype email communication

In my case, if Skype refuses to let me choose my language of communication, I will stop using Skype. There are excellent alternatives with better prices available. I want the ability to set my preferred language to English.

Re: How to change language in all Skype email communication

I get all my emails in Finnish, a language I don't understand; I speak Swedish, an official language here in Finland.

I just don't understand how a company which business idea is to let people communincate in their own language over the country borders thnks that everone speaks (all of) the official languages of the country in which they sign up for the first time!

Re: How to change language in all Skype email communication

This is a major problem! I do understand the Software issue, however, the creation of the account should be the default language. For example; I work in Saudi Arabia, I have homes in Spain, Russia, and UK; why then do all my emails come in Arabic; true, I can copy the Arabic Skype notification and go to "Google translate" and paste it; do you know what I receive back, an order for Kapsa! this must stop, it is not only annoying but if there is a serious message, then I would totally miss it.

Is there not a way that in the setting of the account Skype could ask the user what language would they like to recieve notifications in? There are tick boxes everywhere on Skype, why not this?

Re: How to change language in all Skype email communication

This pre-emptive language spoken is a right PIA and it's not just Skype/Outlook. Many sites use it and the clever ones have an easily changed prefered language choice. It's still a bloody nuisance.

Everything I recieve from Skype and Outlook is in English, the newsletters oh no that comes in Spanish and I really can't be arsed to translate it. There is no way this can be changed unlike other default settings.

The answer is simple have a default language tab on ALL correspondence and ALL sections of Skype and Outlook, instead we get fobbed off with "This is not available at this time" which I have heard for the last 4 years.

Well I have cancelled that pointless newsletter, maybe if over the next 4 years you see sense and do something about it, a simple email notification will suffice in ENGLISH!.
